Men Moving Forward is a free lifestyle program that conducts research on how group exercise, strength training, and nutrition education can support prostate cancer survivorship. It aims to show fellow prostate cancer survivors that there is an opportunity for advocacy and that there are other men, like them, who are dealing with the implications of prostate cancer together. By being a helping hand to a prostate cancer survivor in your life, you can make a difference.

We wanted to share this awesome testimonial from Mr. Brown, one of our MMF participants.
